Obama: Take a chance on your OWN aspirations

[laesperanzapaz]

obama pwnd yall sorry Reps

lol

[JoshGood28]

It seems Obama wants to be the president for his own satisfaction. His unapologetic tone and evading certain people of the press reminds me of George Bush. That is why I will vote for Hillary. Obama is really just preaching and trying to win the religious vote with plagarized sermons, similar to George Bush. I vote for the voice of reason.

[OneGreatChance]

Well, that's not true, take a look at his programm, it's much more detailed and much better than Hillary's. Anyway Hillary is lying and makes smear campaigns against him while he stays fair and doesn't use such material which has been collected about her!

[FacesGuyinSTL]

So let me get this right..according to some of the posters here, if I copy someone else's work (say a close friend sitting in front of me in class) and they say it is Ok for me to copy it, then it isn't cheating? Wow., we better tell all the teacher's in the world that we have new standards for cheating.

[FelishkaAnn]

People wake up these two are best friends do you know that Obama was the first person he called to come help him win. We could find lots more of these if you need to grasp at straws its ok we on the Obama side understand. Your Hillary will do anything to win. I like video's to check out the Clinton Cronicals No one knows that many people who have died. 47 people can you name 47 people you have shared a relationship with that are now died? keep thinking I'll wait........

[carlruiz]

look this is in now way indicative of Obama's skills as a policy maker this all result of a campaign machine. his big flaw is a 13 second speech. give me a break americans can be idots

[tutuboy95]

This sounds familiar.

*cough* Duval Patrick...*cough*

[Beautarche]

*cough*It's Deval*cough*

[tutuboy95]

My apologies. You know what I mean.

[brucenyznik]

It's a poker game and Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. has nothing in his hands, except for a script...

Go Hillary!!!

[tutuboy95]

HILLARY SHALL WIN!!!!

[blogegog]

Looking through these comments, it's clear:  You people do not want new laws mandating hope and change!

[tutuboy95]

We do. We just want a president who does the decision making by himself/herself. And the Cabinet.

[neemaa]

Obama is a plagiarizer. If you can't admit that, then you are brainwashed. It's so blatant! And you are still defending him. Listen, I understand that people share speech writers, but Obama is running on purely his speeches and message. He has no experience and hardly an amazing record. He is running on prose and poetry. So when even his words are written by others and used by others before him, then what does that leave us with??? Think about it you guys!!

[EngineerFromGermany]

In order to plagiarize you have to steal!

But since Devil Patrick and Obama are very good friends and Patrick actually ENCOURAGED him to use some of his lines to defend against the stupid "just words"-attack clinton used, this is NOT plagiarizm! I think we should rather discuss the matter at hand: DO words matter?I think Obama made a point that words matter indeed. Nothing BIG ever happened without affecting the people first. Just think of US-Independence-War, MLK, JFK, Ghandi, Womens rights...

[vulcanmike]

I'll proudly cast my vote for Obama the same way I did for Patrick. They are both visionary, distinguished men who care about their constituents. All this controversy does is highlight how admirable both men are and makes it a bit odd that Massachusetts did not choose Obama as its top candidate.

[scoombe11]

Cmon Obama. Say something original for a change. Just like his legisltive record: taking credit for everyone esle's hard work! BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[eakboyeak]

lame ... very disappointing!

[brucenyznik]

Obama is also taking Hillary's ideas and stating them as if they are his own...people should be embarrassed to vote for him!

[matthew02144]

Take a chance on your own words Obama!

[coolrepublica]

If the speech is all that matter, then why are we not clamoring to get Deval Patrick elected president of the US instead of Obama. He seems to be the brain behind the mania. I will take the orginal over the copy any day. Too bad, because a little birdie in Boston, MA tells me that Deval Patrick might just be the worst governor MA has ever had. I wonder if America should be worried that Obama likes to follow in Deval footsteps a little too much. Just sayin'.

[phenylphenol]

Oh, please. And next time a poet compares love to a flower, he's plagiarizing. Fine.

Laughable!

[DJBLP]

It's laughable...

[EternalSprt]

Are all the people voting for him blind, deaf, or simply stupid?

[ginaswo]

total thief, even has same emphasis, what an empty shirt!

[fearthefish]

Theres a difference between using Catch phrases like "fired up" and "turn the page" and what Obama is doing here.

[tyuerty]

y not post the whole speech so we can see if it was all copied, why not post hillarys videos of her copying obama and call it plagiarism? oh wait thats right, the americans are easily fooled!

[gambitmachete]

pathetic.

[jiggystyles]

OMG - SO WHAT? McCain is now using Billary's stupid line Ready on Day one. And Hillary is caught stealing more lines. It's not the speech it's the content of one's character.

[theuncon]

Uh - his entire "character" is built on the idea that he gives great, inspirational speeches (which is why we should forgive him for having no detailed plans - vision, you know). One line from here or there is different from an almost verbatim speech copied from one person. What a phony.

[phenylphenol]

Speeches are not the best place to outline your plan's details, and Obama recognizes this. If you were to compare the details on their websites, you'd find Obama is actually more explicit than Hillary on most of his platforms. He just has the taste and ability to motivate people on a more fundamental level on the stump. This argument against him that he's an "empty suit" selling himself on "only words" is ridiculous. He has all the substance, but ADDITIONALLY a means to motivate and inspire.

[Beautarche]

No detailed plans? Are you kidding me?

Take a look at his 62 pg Blueprint for Change, and his detailed policies on his website. Please do your research!

If one line from here and there is all you got then it's best you get back to the drawing board.

[superg772]

Wow. More blatant speech copying by Barack Obama. How can anyone vote for this guy? He is just a copy of Deval Patrick. What a loser. How about something original for once Barack Obama?
